What rank are you now with the 4 hours of protection? Now, what normally happens with spells that you learn before hero? Thats right, they tend to last longer the closer you get to hero. > First off, let me tell you what this post is NOT. > I am NOT complaining in any way about the time it takes to do an invoker. Yes I realise I chose this, and Yes I realise how powerfull invokers can be. > I am NOT in any way saying anything bad about the imms. I love these new invokers, and those rushes of insight are great. > What I AM doing....is asking if this sits as oddly with you as it does with me. I am not saying it is not fair. I am not saying it is Stupid. > I just find it ODD. > (Now that I have appeased the dumbasses who might flame me) > Its just that after 120 hours of spamming spells. I wait till the latest rank of any mage/holy class, and work MUCH harder than any mage/holy class to get bash protection (Shield of earth). And it only lasts for 4 hours. > I mean...come on. Shaman practically get protective shield at birth. Conjurers have an ever-automatically replenishing protective shield. Necro's bash prot is a damage reducer as well....etc...and Invoker have to spamm spells for 120 hours....and after all that work...to get a TINY bit of protection from bash....it lasts 4 hours. At hero range, any meeting between prepared players is going to go on longer than 4 hours.(and lets face it, ragers are always prepared, it takes no skill for a rager to be prepared). > I am just wondering, Is there a Reason why invokers are made to wait so long and work so hard for a bash protection that barely lasts as long as a black jack? > Am I missing something obvious? Is there some obvious glaring reason for it only to last 4 hours? Am I just plain stupid? Please, if you think I am missing something, or if you think that there is a REASON for it to only last 4 hours, PLEASE clue me in? give me a hint?
> I think of all those rangers, and snares, and it just makes me wonder what good is bash/bearcharge protection when all they have to do is wait a second and it will be down.
